• Re-enable ping to stats server for linux

    aekeus committed Mar 10, 2017
    This change re-enables the update check, used to send anonymous stats, for Linux.
    
    The update check does not show the update bar, even if there is a newer version
    of the software available. This will be addressed in a later commit.
    
    Testing:
    
    Testing this change from a QA perspective is problematic. These are the steps
    I used to test the functionality of the change.
    
    A)
    
      * Change the version in package.json to a previous release version
      * Build the binary on Linux
      * Launch the browser ensuring:
        * The browser does not crash on update init
        * The updater scheduler is initiated
        * Metadata is retrieved from the updater
        * The updater bar is NOT shown
        * The browser does not crash
        * No attempt is made to update the browser binary
    
    B)
    
      * Change the browser version in package.json to a non-existent version
      * Build on Linux and launch
      * Ensure no metadata is retrieved
      * Ensure that the ping is recorded in the dw.fc_usage table of stats
